Man Convicted Of Importing Cocaine

A native of Trinidad was convicted in federal court Tuesday on four counts of importing cocaine into the United States and possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute.

Zimmern Beharry, 37, faces life in prison and a $4 million fine on each count when he is sentenced. Beharry's one-month trial ended Tuesday in West Palm Beach. A jury was unable to reach a verdict on two conspiracy counts.

The U.S. Attorney's Office said Beharry, who was extradited from Trinidad, was shipping the drugs to Port Everglades for distribution in New York.
